The UConn offense may not be the most exhilarating. But when you have stifling defensive play, then you can survive. The Huskies got a terrific effort from their defense, winning their first Big East game of the season, 16-10 over UConn.
The difference in the game was a defensive score. Twyon Martin forced Darrell Scott to fumble, and Byron Jones returned it 10 yards for the go-ahead score in the third quarter. UConn forced three more turnovers and held USF without a point in five trips inside the Huskies 35.
That had to have been the most frustrating part for USF and coach Skip Holtz. The Bulls gave themselves plenty of opportunities to win, they just came up short. B.J. Daniels, who played well to start the season, had three of the turnovers. He fumbled on second-and-goal from the UConn 7 early in the game and later threw two interceptions -- both in UConn territory.
USF has now lost two straight in conference play.
